(AP) -- Rahm Emanuel is on the campaign trail.
Emanuel, who stepped down as White House chief of staff last week to run for mayor of Chicago, appeared at an elevated train station on Roosevelt Road on the city's near South Side, shaking hands with commuters.
Emanuel plans at least two other stops Monday morning, one in the city's Chatham neighborhood and then one in the Pilsen neighborhood.
In a video released over the weekend, he said he would embark on a "Tell It Like It Is" listening tour of the city.
Emanuel is one of several candidates and possible candidates who have scrambled to put together campaigns after Mayor Richard Daley's surprise announcement last month that he won't seek re-election.
